Hughes connectors, in conjunction with the dielectric grease on the
F-connector threads, provide weatherproofing for outdoor connections. These
connectors should be used in new installations, upgrades, and any repairs.
Outdoor connectors on radios and ground blocks that are in areas with
corrosive environments (e.g. salt air) may need additional weatherproofing,
such as weatherproofing tape or a weather boot filled with dielectric grease.
